Microsoft will soon add AI Copilot to Minecraft offering real-time advice
Microsoft has shown off how its Copilot AI feature will soon be able to give players a helping hand in games such as Minecraft by offering up real-time advice.
The company shared two videos to its social media account on X last night, demonstrating this feature. In the first video, a person playing Minecraft needs some assistance crafting a sword.
"To craft a sword, you'll need some materials," Copilot says, prompting the player to open their inventory. The Copilot notices the player does not have all the necessary resources available, so offers a suggestion of what to do next.

You need to get away from it fast. Either sprint away or quickly build a tower of blocks straight up to get out of its reach."

"Real personality. Effortless interactions. The ability to see what we see. I've long argued that AIs with EQ, IQ and AQ are coming. Here's the first real glimpse of what it's gonna feel like," Suleyman wrote. "It's a magical experience: smart, intuitive, natural, and useful."
Real personality. Effortless interactions. The ability to see what we see. ✨
I’ve long argued that AIs with EQ, IQ and AQ are coming. Here’s the first real glimpse of what’s its gonna feel like.
It’s a magical experience: smart, intuitive, natural, and useful.
Standby for more details on the full spectrum of capabilities we are demoing today; they’re coming to every Copilot very soon.
This is an incredibly exciting time. I want to pay tribute to the teams at @Microsoft and @OpenAI who are making this possible.
And especially to…
AI remains a hot topic within the industry, and earlier this year, a report by game engine maker Unity found 62 percent of studios use AI at some point during game development.
